MANAUS, BRAZIL – OCTOBER 10, 2024 In the eastern part of the Brazilian city of Manaus, in the Ramal do Brasileirinho area, a man’s body showing brutal signs of torture was found on October 10, 2024. The victim’s body was discovered on a remote road in the Jorge Teixeira neighborhood, with hands and feet tied and dressed only in black pants. The victim had lost his right eye and bore other signs of extreme violence.
Next to the body, a handwritten note was found with the text: “I died because I’m Jack, CV/AM.” This note could indicate a connection to gang activity, with the abbreviations “CV” and “AM” likely referring to the criminal organization Comando Vermelho (Red Command) and the state of Amazonas, where Manaus is located.
